Spring sailing in the BVIs with the regatta and sailing festival

Spring sailing in the BVI has it all, beautiful weather, fun atmosphere, bustling restaurants and friendly winds. This is the season when the islands are in full swing after the Christmas hype, but before the deep summer lull.

If you’re planning to be in the area, the BVI Spring Regatta is a must-see event. You can plan to participate as much or as little as you like, but we recommend taking the time to enjoy at least a part of the festivities. Even if you just hang around the periphery, it’s a chance to join in one of the most lively island experiences!

Party with the Sailing Festival

Beautiful bay, BVI

The week-long BVI Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival takes you throughout the beautiful British Virgin Islands. The fun begins on Monday 28 March at Nanny Cay with two days of warm up racing. There are plenty of fun parties in the marina and beach BBQs lasting into the night with DJs. As you can imagine, the celebrations last well into the night.

Race in the Spring Regatta

The regatta is a highly competitive series of races in three different areas, going through the Sir Francis Drake Channel. There are many different courses using the natural points of the islands and fixed marks.

It’s often referred to as the Exotic Regatta, and is hosted in the Nanny Cay Marina. The Regatta suits different boats and they say that even newcomers can expect to be greeted by name.You can enter and compete, cruise along at your own pace or even just attend for the party! It is an entire week of good sportsmanship and features yachts with the flags from all over the world.
